Website Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

01. General Website Disclaimer

T-Shirts South Africa makes reasonable efforts to provide useful, accurate and up-to-date information on this website.

However, website content is provided for general information, product discovery, enquiries, quotations and business communication purposes and may not always reflect the latest:

• Stock availability
• Pricing
• Product specifications
• Fabric availability
• Colours
• Sizes
• Production times
• Supplier information
• Printing options
• Promotions

Where information on a confirmed quotation, order confirmation or invoice differs from general website content, the specific agreed transaction documentation will apply subject to applicable law.

02. Website Information

Although reasonable care is taken when preparing website content, T-Shirts South Africa does not represent that every item of information will at all times be:

03. Product Information

Product information displayed on the website may include:

• Garment descriptions
• Fabric composition
• GSM or approximate fabric weight
• Available sizes
• Available colours
• Garment measurements
• Branding suitability
• Product photographs

We endeavour to present this information accurately, but supplier specifications and manufacturing processes may change.

Customers purchasing goods for a specific technical requirement should confirm any material specification before placing an order.

04. Product Images & Colour Representation

Product images are intended to provide a reasonable visual representation of the relevant product.

Actual colours may differ from colours shown on a screen because of:

• Monitor settings
• Mobile-device displays
• Photography
• Studio lighting
• Image processing
• Fabric texture
• Dye batches
• Manufacturing variation

05. Sizing Information

Size charts and garment measurements are provided as a practical guide.

Garment dimensions may be subject to reasonable manufacturing tolerances, and sizing can differ between manufacturers, styles and product ranges.

Customers requiring precise sizing should confirm relevant measurements before ordering, particularly for:

• Large orders
• Uniform programmes
• Custom-branded garments
• Special events
• Garments being purchased for a specific fit

Nothing in this section removes any rights relating to goods that materially fail to comply with lawfully agreed specifications.

06. GSM & Fabric Specifications

Where GSM, fabric composition or similar technical information is published, it may be based on supplier or manufacturer specifications.

Normal manufacturing tolerances may apply.

If a precise technical characteristic is essential to your intended use, please request confirmation before ordering.

07. Pricing

Website prices, where displayed, may be changed or corrected where permitted by law.

Pricing may depend on:

• Quantity
• Product type
• Garment size
• Colour
• Stock availability
• Printing method
• Number of print positions
• Artwork requirements
• Embroidery stitch count
• Customisation
• Supplier pricing

A website price should not be assumed to include custom printing, embroidery or another service unless expressly stated.

08. Stock Availability

Stock information can change quickly and website display does not necessarily guarantee that a particular product, colour or size is available at the time an order is placed.

Stock may be held by T-Shirts South Africa, suppliers or other distribution channels and may be allocated to another customer before an order has been confirmed.

Stock availability should therefore be confirmed as part of the quotation or order process.

09. Quotations

Information displayed on the website does not itself constitute a binding quotation unless expressly identified as such.

A quotation may depend on the information supplied by the customer, including quantities, garment specifications, artwork, branding method and production requirements.

Please refer to our Terms of Service for additional information concerning quotations and orders.

10. Printing & Branding Information

Information about screen printing, embroidery, digital printing, sublimation and other branding processes is provided as general guidance.

The suitability of a particular branding method can depend on:

• Fabric composition
• Garment construction
• Artwork detail
• Artwork colours
• Print size
• Position
• Quantity
• Intended use

The appropriate method for a specific job should therefore be confirmed during quotation and production planning.

11. Artwork & Mock-Ups

Digital proofs and mock-ups are primarily intended to assist with positioning and visualisation.

The final physical result may differ slightly from a digital representation because of printing processes, garment construction, fabric characteristics and screen display differences.

Customers should carefully inspect and approve applicable artwork before production.

12. No Professional Advice

General articles, guides, FAQs, product descriptions and other website information are provided for general informational purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, website content should not be regarded as:

• Legal advice
• Tax advice
• Accounting advice
• Health or safety advice
• Technical certification
• Professional advice specific to your circumstances

Where a decision requires specialist advice, users should consult an appropriately qualified professional.

13. Website Availability

We make reasonable efforts to maintain website availability, but continuous or uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.

Access may be interrupted because of:

• Server maintenance
• Hosting failures
• Internet outages
• Software updates
• Security incidents
• Cyberattacks
• Power failures
• Load shedding
• Third-party provider failures
• Events outside our reasonable control

14. Technical Compatibility

We do not guarantee that every website function will operate identically on every:

• Browser
• Operating system
• Mobile device
• Computer
• Network connection
• Accessibility configuration

Users are responsible for maintaining suitable devices, internet connectivity and software required to access the website.

15. Viruses & Cybersecurity

Reasonable security measures may be used to protect the website. However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely free from malicious code, cyberattacks or security vulnerabilities.

Users should maintain appropriate security measures on their own devices, including current antivirus and security software where appropriate.

Nothing in this section reduces any legal obligation imposed upon T-Shirts South Africa regarding the protection of personal information or website security.

16. Email & Electronic Communications

Email and other internet communications may be affected by delays, interception, malware, incorrect addressing or technical failure.

Customers should contact us again if an urgent or important communication has not received a response within a reasonable period.

A quotation, artwork approval or production instruction should not be assumed to have been received merely because it was transmitted, where receipt has not otherwise been confirmed.

17. WhatsApp & Third-Party Communication Platforms

Where customers choose to contact us using WhatsApp or another third-party communication platform, that platform is operated by an independent provider.

We do not control the availability, security or independent privacy practices of third-party communication services.

Important order details should be clearly communicated and confirmed where necessary.

18. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites or online services operated by third parties.

These links may be provided for convenience or additional information.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, T-Shirts South Africa does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their:

• Content
• Availability
• Security
• Terms
• Privacy practices
• Products
• Services

South African government websites similarly warn users that third-party linked resources may be outside the website operator's control. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

19. External Suppliers & Manufacturers

Certain product information may originate from third-party manufacturers or suppliers.

While reasonable efforts may be made to verify relevant information, supplier specifications, stock and product ranges can change.

Where a supplier discontinues or changes a product, we may update our website and communicate available alternatives where appropriate.

20. Customer-Arranged Couriers

T-Shirts South Africa does not provide a standard delivery service unless delivery is expressly agreed for a particular transaction.

Customers may arrange their own courier to collect orders from:

Where a customer independently appoints a courier, the courier's own terms and responsibilities may apply.

Nothing in this section excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

21. Intellectual Property

The website may contain copyright-protected material, trade marks, photographs, graphics and other intellectual property.

Use of this website does not transfer ownership of any intellectual-property rights.

For more information, please read our:

Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy

22. Customer-Supplied Content

Where customers provide artwork, logos, photographs, wording or other materials, customers are responsible for ensuring that the material may lawfully be used for the requested purpose.

T-Shirts South Africa may refuse content where there are reasonable grounds to believe its use may be unlawful or infringe the rights of another person.

23. User-Submitted Information

Customers are responsible for checking information they submit through website forms, email, WhatsApp or other communication channels.

This includes:

• Names
• Email addresses
• Telephone numbers
• Product quantities
• Garment sizes
• Colours
• Artwork
• Spelling
• Branding instructions

If information is incorrect, please notify us as soon as possible.

24. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent lawfully permitted, T-Shirts South Africa will not be liable solely because of use of, reliance upon, or inability to access this website for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss where such liability may lawfully be limited.

This may include losses arising solely from:

• Temporary website unavailability
• Internet connectivity problems
• Browser or device compatibility issues
• Reliance on general website information that has subsequently changed
• Third-party website availability
• Third-party service failures outside our reasonable control

Website disclaimers commonly distinguish between taking reasonable steps to maintain accuracy and availability and guaranteeing that online content will always be error-free or continuously accessible. For example, SARS uses this type of distinction in its public website disclaimer. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

25. Consumer Protection Act

Nothing in this Website Disclaimer is intended to:

• Exclude a statutory warranty that cannot legally be excluded
• Exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded
• Require a consumer to unfairly waive statutory rights
• Override the Consumer Protection Act
• Remove lawful rights concerning defective or unsafe goods
• Remove rights concerning goods that materially fail to comply with agreed specifications

Any exclusion or limitation in this policy must therefore be read subject to applicable South African consumer law.

26. No Exclusion for Gross Negligence or Unlawful Conduct

Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude or limit liability for conduct where an exclusion or limitation would be prohibited by applicable law.

This disclaimer must not be interpreted as authorising T-Shirts South Africa to avoid responsibility for conduct where South African law does not permit such liability to be excluded.

27. Reliance on Website Content

Before placing an order based on information that is material to your requirements, customers should confirm the relevant details with T-Shirts South Africa.

This is particularly important where your decision depends upon:

• Exact colour
• Exact measurements
• Fabric composition
• GSM
• Stock quantity
• Production deadline
• Print compatibility
• Corporate branding requirements

28. Events Outside Reasonable Control

Website operation, product availability and business communications may occasionally be affected by events outside our reasonable control.

Examples may include:

• Cybersecurity incidents
• Supplier outages
• Natural disasters

• Government restrictions
• Transport interruptions
• Other circumstances beyond reasonable control

Any contractual consequences of such events remain subject to the applicable agreement and South African law.

We may update, correct, remove or change website content from time to time.

This may include changes to:

• Product ranges
• Product descriptions
• Photographs
• Pricing
• Policies
• Contact details
• Website features

Changes to website information will not retrospectively remove rights that a customer already holds under an existing agreement or applicable law.

30. Electronic Transactions

Use of this website and electronic communications may be subject to the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 and other applicable South African law.

The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act provides the legal framework for electronic communications and transactions in South Africa. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

If a provision of this Website Disclaimer is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the affected provision should be treated as severable to the extent legally appropriate.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply where legally possible.
